“Our plan is for more assemblers to set up and operate at full capacity so that we can supply Africa with competitive units,” he noted.

He maintained that it was time for Kenya to claim its rightful place among Africa’s leading vehicle manufacturers.

It is expected that the KSh500 Million will deepen the firm’s manufacturing, improve local production and make it globally competitive.

Present were Isuzu East Africa Managing Director Rita Kavashe, Trade Principal Secretary Alfred K’Ombudo, Isuzu East Africa Chairman Hiroshi Hisatomi, Deputy Chief of Mission Counsellor in the Embassy of Japan Kitagawa Yasuhisha, among others.

“With investments like Isuzu’s, we can propel Kenya back to its original vision of leading Africa’s automotive competitiveness.”

The President urged investors to advance their investment in Kenya by moving into Tier One component of manufacturing.

He said Kenya intends to fully exploit the immense opportunities presented in the automotive industry’s untapped potential.
